Pass/No Credit Option for Seniors Policy

Students who have completed 90 or more credits may take up to two courses (8 credits maximum, only one course per term) on a Pass/No Credit basis. Grades of A, B, and C correspond to Pass; grades of D and F to No Credit. Whether or not you earn credit for the course, it will not be included in computation of your GPA. Your instructor will not be aware of your choice; the letter grade earned for the course will be converted to Pass or No Credit by the Registrar.

The following courses cannot be applied to the P/NC option:

You may not select this option for a course being used to satisfy your major, minor, liberal arts distribution requirements, or other graduation credential. Only free elective courses may be taken on a pass/no credit basis.
